General Extractions Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of tooth extraction in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Extraction means taking out a tooth that is badly decayed, broken, loose or stuck under the gum. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Routine or surgical removal: surgical removal involves opening the gum.
• Wisdom teeth: impacted teeth take longer.
• Anaesthesia or sedation: local anaesthetic, sedation or, rarely, general anaesthetic.
• What replaces the tooth: an implant, bridge or denture is priced separately.

Extractions are priced per tooth in the UAE. A quote near the range above is unusual, so ask what it includes.

In its guide to wisdom tooth removal, the NHS explains that local anaesthetic is used for most extractions, with sedation or general anaesthesia kept for difficult cases. The removal itself normally takes less than 40 minutes.

The NHS notes that soreness and swelling can last up to two weeks. Eating soft food for a few days and rinsing gently with warm salt water helps the socket heal.

If pain gets worse a few days after the extraction rather than better, the blood clot may have been lost (dry socket), and the dentist should check it.

Contact the dentist urgently for bleeding that does not stop, pain or swelling that keeps increasing, or a fever. Numbness after lower wisdom tooth removal usually improves, but report it if it persists.

Basic UAE health insurance does not include dental treatment, so check whether your plan has dental benefits.
